This makes its point without needing any explanation, and entirely fitting with the humour of the show.

Looking Forward To It
"Stick Of Truth" was great fun, featuring nazi zombie cows (voiced by old recordings of Hitler speeches), Kenny in drag summoning and occasionally being devoured by rat swarms, going on a quest up a gay man's ass and being able to play as a thief, fighter, mage or jew.
I'm sure this one will be just as off the wall.
